First Post! - Spartans, definitely.

  • 01.25.2011 11:55 AM PDT

I have to go with Sangheili. Spartans are badass, augmented supersoldiers beyond the physical capabilities of normal humans. But the Sangheili come that way.

Spartan-IIIs. They never failed to complete their missions.

Elites and Spartan-IIs, for example, didn't remain effective in the war until the Battle of Installation 04 occurred.

Respect it!

I would have to go with Sangheili. Based on the fact that they train in combat since birth, hold honor like the ancient samurai, fight to the death, and never surrender. Spartans are good, but Sanghelli's are better.

In addition to the honor thing, I believe they have a proud naval tradition, seafaring folk.

So they are kinda like Alien Dinosaur Samurai/Knight Pirates.

QED.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Spartan III's. I like them more than Spartan II's overall.

"Find where the liar hides, so that I may place my boot between his gums!" - Rtas 'Vadum

Despite Rtas, I would be inclined to say Spartans. I would have to wait and see if, in Karen Traviss' novels, the Sangheili change or begin to change thier close minded, wilful ignorance and chauvinism. Obviously they do not all think alike, and they are a varied people (Not all Humans hold the same beliefs and traditions after all) but their tendency to recognise no faults with their race and society makes me uncaring towards most Elite characters (Rtas seems to be the exception IMO just now). It is obvious that some are charlatans and hypocrites in using things like orbital bombardment or active camouflage, and the fact that they are arrogant enough to ignore these things irks me.

Spartans are indoctrinated into thinking that the UNSC is the only way Humanity can be governed. They obey orders without question. These are things I don't particularly like about them either but some, like John, begin to change their views and question whether they could ever bring themselves to kill another Human again after the War was over.

I think that the spartans are cool in the armor feild but the elites look cool. The armor for the elites is soo limited but it till lokks cool. I also think if I actually met a spatan they would be nice to me, but the elite I have afeeling would just kill ne then laugh at my withering body.

I like Elites more.

They're the most physically superior species in the galaxy, and they didn't need augmentations to obtain that status.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Really?

  • 01.25.2011 3:18 PM PDT

I don't know whether I'd say they are more cool or not, as I like both a lot. But I am a big fan of the Elites, they are truly awesome, I would love it if a good author came along and wrote a book all about them and their culture. They sort of remind me of the Mandalorians a bit.

Sangheili

(you spelt it wrong)

Anyway, Sangheili all the way. Thats why my group exists.

  • 01.25.2011 6:33 PM PDT

I say Elites. Only because they are as good, or maybe better, than spartans but without augmentation.

CoD is a good game, even if the Halo series are better in some aspects. Anyone who insults either is just bad in that game. Grow up.

LOL.

We will know soon enough, but it will require thought. Deep thought. Mendicant Bias must be found. The Mantle will soon follow.

Imagine a Sangheili equivalent of the SPARTAN-II Program. Thems would be unstoppablez.

Spartans by far. Way to many reasons to list why.

Sangheili, without a doubt!

Jun, Tom, Lucy, Team Saber, and possibly the Spartan-IIIs on Earth.

They achieved interstellar flight and left Earth. The intelligent ones left after killing all of the stupid dinosaurs.

Spartans are made warriors.
Elites are born warriors.

Victory to the sangheili!
